Kelly, Chambers, and Cobb had spent years together locking in a groove that was simultaneously loose and ironclad, and Montgomery's single-note lines and octave runs found a perfect home inside it. This is one of the essential live jazz recordings of the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLimited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. Smokin' at the Half Note is the second collaboration jazz album recorded by Wes Montgomery and the Wynton Kelly Trio and released in 1965. It was recorded live in late June 1965 at the Half Note Club in New York City, and September 22, 1965 at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. The album combines guitarist Montgomery with the Miles Davis rhythm section from 1959-1963 of Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb. The album's versions of \"Unit 7\" and \"Four on Six\" have helped to establish these songs as jazz standards, and remain important references for their interpretation. This is also the second live album by Wes Montgomery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. No Blues (13:00)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. If You Could See Me Now (6:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Unit 7 (7:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Four On Six (6:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. What's New?
